It was in the 17th minute of the 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) match between Kerala Blasters and Bengaluru FC that Malayali winger Rahul KP opted to attack the defence from the right channel during a quick counter-attacking procedure.
Gary Hooper's pass found the winger who then took the ball into the box and unleashed a powerful strike that beat India's No. 1 Gurpreet Singh Sandhu at his near post. It was a top finish against one of India's best keepers and was the winger's first goal of the season for Blasters.
He then came up with another crucial goal - this time an injury-time match-winner against the same opposition - in January that helped Blasters claim three points from nowhere.
